Steve: You are absolutely right. Maneuvering a 45' coach through their islands would be difficult at best. A couple of years ago I pulled into the Kingman, AZ Flying J for diesel and propane, which was just a straight in situation, but to depart the island I had a hard right to make with the trailer. Had to go in the store and get the owners of two cars parked in front of the store to move their cars. That was tight. We've got a 60 gallon lpg tank so don't have to fill it up often. Ironically, lpg costs way less than diesel right now. Used to be the other way around. I can get lpg locally for $2.99/gallon, and diesel for $4.25/gallon. When gas/diesel is cheaper than lpg I tote along a 1,000 watt Honda generator to run the coach systems (except the microwave and A/C). Fortunately we haven't had to fill up with propane often using the coach once a month (maybe twice per year), but now that we are fulltiming we'll find out what our new frequency will be.
